Well mine are really filthy at the minute due to being in and out the garage so much, soooo I need some good shampoo for the seats as they have small oil patches in places. :( I don't want to be taking the seats out though.

Any suggestions?

Cheers David :)

autoglym stuff brought up my GSi stuff fairly well but doesn't seem to work so well on my cobra buckets, think it's because the material is more 'pitted'

Good idea on the vax, do places hire them out?

My seats are a cream colour so it's going to be a nightmare. My old gsi seats always came up well until I got them jet washed, the amount of dirt that came out was mental. :eek:

I don't have a pressure washer and it would be a right barsteward taking them out at a jet wash lol

Man paste oh that reminds me what's good for cleaning roof lining lol

Buy a pressure washer, £30, iirc cheaper than renting a vax lol

I used me when i needed some seats cleaning, being a valeter is ace, i bought some blue grey SR front seats from colin smith and they had epic mould growing from them but the bolsters were perfect, took them to work, soaked them in MTS supplied interior cleaner (or the equivalent of G101 for those who use autosmart) and let it soak in for ten mins and steamed it off with the power washer on 70-1oo degrees C.

Took them into the valet bay and wetvacced the water out of them and stood them in the sun to dry/air out, they needed standing somewhere warm for a few days to make sure they were fully dry and aired out otherwise they leave a damp pungent musty smell in your car, and aftrewards they were like brand new, all oil stains and mould 100% gone, interior cleaner shifts anything:thumb:
